The Epic Revenge Chapter 1596: Xu Qizhen’s restaurant
Xu Qizhen's restaurant has recently received a special guest every day.
The guest is a young woman in her twenties, dressed simply and casually, always wearing a variety of dresses, the fabric is very delicate but the guest never cares.
What's special is that, no matter how expensive the dress is, she always wears a pair of clogs.
There's no business in the restaurant, and the guys often talk about the one and only guest.
Xu Qizhen heard it by chance and said to them: "She is Japanese."
The restaurant bears the signboard of "Su Cuisine". The decoration is exquisite, the facade is small and the location is remote. It is a quiet place. It has only opened for less than two months, and it is not famous at all.
"I can't tell she's Japanese at all, she speaks Hokkien," said one of the guys. "She can speak Mandarin, which is better than me."
Xu Qizhen also understands Hokkien.
She didn't say anything, and other guests came to the restaurant.
Xu Qizhen went to the kitchen.
This time, it was a large group of guests, a man and a woman with three children, two of whom looked like twins.
"Jingsu Xiaocai." Si Xingpei read the signboard and turned to ask Gu Qingzhou, "Are you sure Yan San recommended this place?"
Gu Qingzhou glanced at the address: "It's here."
They had just returned to Singapore from Huo Yue's wedding, and when they got off the plane, the children were screaming that they were hungry.
Their plane docked in a relatively remote place. Gu Qingzhou remembered that Yan Ziqing had specially told her last time that there was a mysterious Su restaurant for them to try.
So instead of going straight home, they went to this restaurant.
The restaurant is behind the tennis court, and it's really hard to find, but the facade is exquisitely decorated, and the multicolored glass doors sparkle like jewels.
A group of six adults and three children merged the last two tables in the restaurant without private rooms.
"Jingsu... Now it's referring to Nanjing in particular, is this Jinling cuisine?" Pei Cheng asked the man.
He is from Nanjing, and when he looked at the menu, he found something was wrong.
Many dishes are all Jiangsu dishes, not special Jinling dishes.
"No, it's a whole dish." The guy said as expected, "If it's a light Jinling dish, I'm afraid other guests will think the dish is monotonous."
He spoke very lame Mandarin, which Pei Cheng understood after a while.
Si Xingpei said: "I want to pickle Duxian and squirrel fish, and the rest is optional. I don't care whether it is authentic or not."
Gu Qingzhou smiled and said, "You are not particular about rough people like you. Jingsu cuisine is famous for its grass. I want a stir-fried maran head."
"Jinling cuisine is famous for its duck dishes, I want roast duck." Si Qiongzhi said.
Others also clicked.
The serving is not fast, but the dishes are exquisite, and the chef's intentions can be seen from the presentation.
The first course was roast duck.
The roast duck with crispy skin, Gu Qingzhou thought it was delicious, and it was almost the same as other places, so Gu Shao was suddenly stunned.
He tasted the red marinade.
People are puzzled.
Gu Shao also came back to his senses, and smiled embarrassedly: "No...it's okay, I'm a little more worried."
Later, when the dishes came up, Si Xingpei and Gu Qingzhou both said that they were delicious, and Pei Cheng also said that they were very authentic and had the flavor of Jinling cuisine.
Only Gu Shao was silent.
"Brother, what's the matter with you?" Gu Qingzhou asked him, "You seem surprised."
Gu Shao said: "I want to meet the chef."
Everyone laughed.
Hua Min Restaurant is not used to seeing chefs unless it is to find fault.
"Can I meet your chef?" Gu Qingzhou called the guy, "It's delicious, we want to thank him in person and ask him if we can invite him to cook if we have a banquet."
The guy happily went to the back kitchen.
Soon, a slender figure walked out.
Everyone was shocked to see Xu Qizhen walking in front of them.
Xu Qizhen's expression is light: "I didn't poison you, don't worry, this is my restaurant, I have to respect myself."
It was eerily quiet in the restaurant.
Even Gu Qingzhou didn't know what to say for a while.
Gu Shao cleared his throat and spoke first: "I tasted the roast duck sauce, and it felt like you made it. You really opened a restaurant?"
When they were studying abroad, Xu Qizhen was very popular, not only because she was good at taking care of people, but also because she could cook.
When she was a child, her family owned a restaurant. The chef used to be a royal chef and liked her very much. He often taught her to cut vegetables and carve flowers.
She also said when joking with Gu Shao: "I want to go to Yangzhou to open a restaurant in a secluded place. I can paint on weekdays and cook when guests come."
Gu Shao only thought she was joking.
Unexpectedly, she actually did it.
"Well, this was originally my ideal." Xu Qizhen said.
The atmosphere is eerie.
Everyone didn't know what to say.
Just as another guest came, it was a very beautiful and elegant young woman, and she was wearing clogs, so Xu Qizhen went to serve her order in person and left their table.
"Yan Laosan said the address, but didn't say that this is a restaurant opened by his wife?" Si Xingpei frowned, "What are they doing?"
Gu Qingzhou also shook his head.
She looked back at Xu Qizhen and found that her condition was much better than before.
Xu Qizhen and Yan Ziqing slept in confusion for one night, and then got pregnant. She took the initiative to ask to go to the UK to give birth and study by the way.
A relative of their family just happened to meet her, and it was in a maternity hospital in the UK.
The relatives immediately announced the good news to the Xu family, and asked the Xu family why Xu Qizhen did not notify them of their marriage, and told other friends in Nanjing.
Xu Shaoan and his wife were almost out of anger.
They went to England and found Xu Qizhen.
Xu Qizhen hurriedly ran when she saw her parents, but she tripped over the stairs and rolled down. The child in her belly was just over three months old, and it was when she was unstable that she miscarried after such a fall.
She was also taken back to Singapore.
The Xu family asked the Yan family to explain Xu Qizhen's affairs.
The old man of the Yan family said that Yan Ziqing would marry Xu Qizhen.
The Xu family is reluctant, because they feel that the Yan family is doing an unattractive business, which will make them lose their share, but there is no way to do it. Relatives all know that Xu Qizhen is pregnant, and it is rumored that her reputation is ruined. ?
The most unwilling is Xu Qizhen.
She was arguing with her parents, and because of the miscarriage, she had a complete breakdown. Her parents told her that she would marry Yan Ziqing no matter what, and the Xu family could not afford to lose face.
This was the straw that broke the camel's back. She cut her wrists and committed suicide.
Fortunately, he was found by his family and sent to the hospital, saving his life.
Si Qiongzhi and Pei Cheng knew about this, and told Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei.
When Xu Qizhen was hospitalized, Yan Ziqing stayed with her. I don't know what he said. In the end, Xu Qizhen agreed to marry him, but instead of holding a wedding, he only invited relatives and friends in Singapore to have a light meal and give her parents an explanation.
Gu Qingzhou and his wife are one of relatives and friends, so they went.
The meal was very depressing. Both families felt wronged. The bride and groom didn't speak the whole time.
Xu Qizhen didn't even change a new set of clothes, she sat there dumbfounded, her eyes were dead, like a soulless doll.
Now that a few months have passed, she is in better spirits than before, and has returned to her previous appearance, at least on the surface.
"I opened this restaurant to enlighten her." Gu Qingzhou said.
Xu Qizhen's spirit is so bad, Yan Ziqing wants to find something to do for her.
It's a little better than eating, drinking, and having fun all day.
After being busy, people will be fuller and their mood will be better, because the feeling of emptiness can give people time to think and drive people crazy.
"No wonder Yan Laosan recommended it several times." Si Xingpei said.
Gu Shao glanced at Xu Qizhen's back and said nothing.
When they got up to leave, Xu Qizhen suddenly stopped Gu Shao.
"I made some sauces - sweet-scented osmanthus sauce, rose sauce, jam and bean paste. You can bring some of them back. Your family should like to eat them. They are all Nanjing flavors." Xu Qizhen said.
She went to the kitchen without waiting for Gu Shao to answer. Seeing her like this, Gu Shao wanted to talk to him alone, and she was married, so he put down a lot, so he said to Gu Qingzhou: "You guys go first, I'll go back by myself later."
